September 25 - October 1: I just wanted to mention that my local Marc's has been selling their pie
pumpkins for $.69 a pound. That is the lowest I've ever seen so you
may want to check your local stores if you're interested in having fresh
pumpkin. I will be posting some pumpkin recipes soon in which I use
fresh pumpkin. I will also tell you how to cook the pumpkin in case
you've never tried it before. Of course, it's not complicated at all.

September 23 - 29: According
to several online sources, McDonalds will be giving away 12 oz. cups of
premium roast McCafe coffee during the week of September 23rd through
September 29th. They're doing this to celebrate National Coffee Day
which happens to be on the 29th. So stop by your
local McDonalds to get your
free cup. No
purchase is necessary. However, call your
McDonalds first to make sure
they are participating with this offer because I have heard they're only
doing this on the East Coast.

August 26: If you are wanting to try the Veggie Rice Medley recipe, here are a few deals on vegetables:

Aldi's has a 2-pack green pepper pack for $.49 on sale through 8/28/12.

Buehler's has Sweet Walla Walla onions on sale for $.79 per pound. Their green beans are $.99 a pound. This sale ends 8/28/12.

Marc's has broccoli 2 for $3 good through 8/28/12.

As
always these sales are in Northeast Ohio so check your local ads if you
don't live in this area. There are lots of sales on fresh vegetables
(and fruits) this time of year. Farmer's markets are also a good source
for great produce.

August 4: For those of you living near a Buehler's grocery store, they have
locally grown peaches for sale. They are $.99 per pound and I can vouch
for the fact that they are sweet and juicy! This price is good through
Tuesday, August 7th.

I haven't tried them but Aldi's has their peaches on sale for $.89 per pound, good through Tuesday, August 7th as well.

Marc's price on their peaches is $.99 per pound, also good through Tuesday, August 7th.

If
you're not close to these grocery stores here in NE Ohio, check your
local ads and farmer's market. You may find a good price. Of course,
you'll find the best prices during the peak of their growing season.

June 1: Today is National Donut Day so check out your local donut shop --
many of them are giving away free donuts! I do know that Dunkin Donuts
and Krispy Kreme are some of the national chains participating but there
are some smaller donut shops that are as well. You may want to call
ahead of time to see if your local shop is celebrating!

Update: I just stopped by Dunkin Donuts -- you
must purchase a beverage first before you will get your free donut.
Krispy Kreme's site says that there is no purchase necessary. I did see
that many grocery stores are offering great deals on their fresh donuts
so you might want to check that out if you're having a craving for them!

May 16 - May 22: If you are planning to make a meal using barbecue sauce (or trying the Saucy Beef or Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches recipe)
and have a Buehler's grocery store nearby, check their ad. Mine has
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce on sale for $1.00 which is the lowest sale
price I have seen this week. This particular sale will end on Tuesday,
May 22nd.

Note: I have heard that this Sunday's paper
will have a coupon for Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce ($1.00 off of 2) so
you may even score a sweeter deal (maybe .50 for each bottle).

May 9 - May 15: This week at Aldi's colored peppers are on sale, $1.29 per 14-oz.
package. I will be using them next week in a recipe that I will be
sharing with you. They also have the following on sale through Tuesday,
May 15th:

April 29 - May 5: If you are looking for good prices on fresh fruit this week, you may
want to stop at Aldi's. They had 4 pound bags of oranges on sale for
$1.49 (a better price than Marcs), their pineapples were $1.29 and their strawberries were .99 per
pound.

March 14 - 20: This week Marc's is having their cabbage on sale again for $.29 per pound and Discount Drug Mart is again selling it for $.25 per pound.

March 7 - 13: Look for deals on cabbage as we get closer to St. Patty's Day. In my area, Marcs has cabbage on sale for 29 cents per pound. Even Drug Mart has them on sale for 25 cents per pound.

March 4 - 10: This week in Northeast Ohio, Aldi's has their strawberries on sale, $1.49 per pound. It would be a great week to make strawberry pie!!
